## What project 119 buys

The Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)project uniquely engages with the Services, Combatant Commands, and our federal partners on critical S&T initiatives to develop emerging PNT technology, sources, and countering small unmanned system threats to our military forces and installations across all domains and all threat environments. Work in this project explores PNT technology and solution needs across the domains of Air, Land, Sea (surface and undersea), and Space, and enables development and maturation of new transitionable maps, sensors, data fusion hubs, and integration techniques targeting GPS-denied or GPS-degraded environments include navigation-quality magnetic anomaly maps and sensors; augmented space-based, non-GPS satellite navigation and time distribution, platform and mission tailored alternative PNT fusion solutions, and best practices for alternative PNT integration through software and hardware. These activities support multiple, new critical technology areas in Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)).

### Alternative PNT — NEW START

- Develop, design, and deliver trusted navigation and timing data, resilient augmented PNT systems, and receivers to enable trusted use of all viable non-GPS, space-based signals for PNT, which enables use of precise time and positioning from multiple constellations. - Mature and rapidly integrate MOSA-compliant sensors tailored to…
